Discussion
The target of the discussion is to analyze and highlight the importance of the findings in
comparison to what was previously found]about the parental effect on the academic standing
of children. Even more, it aims to interpret any new findings of the issue stated. We suggest a
few factors and correlations that might induce the relationship between parental involvement
The relationship among parents may induce a huge effect on the psychological state of
children. When parents are “resilient” facing life’s obstacles, they create a bond that can itself
induce better environment that affects their beloved ones on several different levels, as
coinciding in the results of Geitsidou & Giovazolias, 2016. This important factor revolving
around resilience has led to a better parent-children relationship and better involvement in
their educational achievement. Therefore, there lies a positive link between parental
relationship and the children’s outcomes. The majority of children have two tutors in life,
school or university, and their parents. Parents might be the primary source of motivation that
enhances education. In other words, students tend to achieve more when parents and
educators work simultaneously, in their turn parents can contribute as the primary source of
confidence, self-esteem, and motivation. The results show that when parents are physically
and mentally involved in the educational life of their children, it may lead to a positive effect
on their psychological state of mind , as well as ,boosting their results and performance in
school or university and their relationship with their colleagues , as coinciding in the findings
of Zhan, 2015 and Wilder ,2013. This could show that students presenting positive feedback
from their parent's involvement tend to be happier and way more comfortable in their skin
and mind which shed the light on their high level of confidence , capacity to learn and the
degree of accepting themselves and other , these factors themselves play a major role in
increasing their grades and their academical achievements in general. It appears that the
outcomes are highly linked to the career path of their child and to its working future as a
&NABEIEI,2016. The results lead to a similar conclusion that emphasizes the fact that
probably “Education begins at home”. The start point may be the involvement and presence
of parental figures in a children's life. The more the parent’s assets and motivates to their
beloved ones, the more they tend to unconsciously present an increase in educational

interaction and outcomes. On another note, it seems that parental participation in children’s
life is a multidimensional pathway, that is proven by previous results of Van der Giessen &
Bögels ,2017, that this pathway has a clear link with social, emotional and academical levels
for children. Perhaps that once the parents are consistent and serious in their relationship with
their children, they might induce a better capacity for accepting knowledge and also a better
perspective of life and a clearer view of their emotion and psychological state as a whole,
agreeing again with Van der Giessen & Bögels,2017. The findings show that there is a
achievement of children. This overall outcome confirms our hypothesis which states that high
Regardless of this, the limitations of the present studies naturally include that the number
of respondents (22) is too narrow to generalize our findings. Moreover, there are different
types of involvement and family conditions to be taken into consideration before discussinthe
